1863 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1. Rarity-3-. EF Details--Cleaned (NGC).
The Act of February 21, 1853, reduced the weight of the half dime, dime, quarter and half dollar. The weight of the silver dollar remained unchanged, however, as the denomination was essentially a storehouse for bullion whose most widespread use was in international commerce. Some of the coins shipped overseas found their way back to the United States, accounting for many circulated survivors of scarce Philadelphia Mint issues from the 1850s and 1860s. Demand from contemporary merchants and other bullion depositors resulted in a mintage of 27,200 circulation strike silver dollars in 1863. Survivors are elusive in all grades, both circulated and Mint State. Writing in the 2018 reference Liberty Seated Dollars: A Register of Die Varieties, Dick Osburn and Brian Cushing account for only 450 coins extant.
